Orzo Pasta Salad

Directions

1. 1
   In a small bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. 2
   Add the olive oil and whisk until combined. 
3. 3
   Place ice cubes and water in a medium-sized bowl. Next, bring a pot of water to a boil.
4. 4
   Add the broccoli florets and boil them for 2 minutes. Use a large slotted spoon, scoop them out of the water, and submerge them in the bowl with the ice and water to stop the cooking process.
5. 5
   Drain them and set them aside. 
6. 6
   In the same pot that you used to boil the broccoli, boil the orzo. There’s no need to change the water, just be sure to bring it back to a rolling boil before adding the pasta. Cook the orzo according to package directions.
7. 7
   Drain the orzo and transfer it to a large bowl. Chop the cooled broccoli florets into small pieces.
8. 8
   Place the broccoli, bell pepper, red onion, chopped parsley, chickpeas, and lemon juice in the bowl with the pasta.

   Pour the dressing over the top and toss until well combined.
